II has been said that il was too severe to
say of the democratic party that it has been
and is the earnest, persistent friend of free
trade, free rum and free fraud, and the
equally persistent foe of free schools and free
suffrage, and that the southern democratic
tail wagged the northern democratic dog
and yet the above propositions are undenia-
bly, true, evidence of which is easily found.
Democratic platforms, democratic speakers
and democratic newspapers settle the free
trade propositions the result of the vote on
prohibition in Texas-the strongest demo
cratic state in the Union-a state in which
the anti-prohibition majority is greater than
the entire republican vote, is one of the
many instances that might be cited to show
that the sympathies of the great democratic
party are with the liquor traffic. And this
becomes the more marked when we recollect
that this anti-prohibition vote was largely
due to the published letter of the arch traitor
demi-god by the southern democracy, al
though if he had had his Just deserts, his
miserable life would have been terminated
years ago on the gallows tree. Tissue ballots,
shot guns, political murders, wholesale sup
preston of votes in the South and fraudulent
counts, both north and south, show the OPP
position of the party to free suffrage and its
willingness to profit by the most scandalous
fraud and deceit. The infamous GLENN bill
concocted by the democratic governor and
the democratic legislature of the democratic
state of Georgia, making it felony punisha-
BILE by sentence TO the "chain gang to
educate white and colored children in the
same school, is a pointer to show the opposi-
ton of the southern democracy-and south
ern democracy is tie democratic party-to
free schools. And yet the leaders of the
party think to throw dust in the eyes of the
people and cover up their political iniquities
by ravinS at what they are pleased to term
Haunting the bloody shirt" In the Ian
guage of Bob Ingersoll, cit won't do, gentle

The ludicrous antics Of the democratic
administration in attempting to hedge" for
1883 and to please both the ndgnant, simon
pure bourbon and the disgruntled, sour
mugwump-in short, to harmonic things
remind US of a story with a moral told about
a certain Methodist parson down in Maine
1t seems the congregation was quite lively
lot, but generous withal and accustomed to
put up Literally when the minister sent the
hat sround still they would quarrel and now
and then would get into right lively row.
but the church prospered all the same, and
the minister was almost happy. Yet, he
worried about their quarrels and concluded
he would try to stop them. So, one day, he
delivered an elegant, powerful, ten.horse power
sermon on harmony. The very next day, there
was row over the question of picnic for
the Sunday school, and the dominic was mad
He went to every one in the flock and fatty
stated that If they did not harmonic once
for ALL he would have the whole outfit
bounced from the fold. On the next Sun
day, all signs OF quarreling had disappeared:
everything seemed lovely and the parson
smiled to himself and, on his way home from
the morning service, hummed ats very
cold eve-ening when | get left" At the
evening service, there was good congrega-
ton out, and the harmony displayed was
touching, but nobody would pray. Some
thing was wrong When he prayed. no one
responded with ali amen, and no one would
sing. Everybody sat perfectly quiet and up
right in his pew all through the service.
Finally he sent around the contribution box
and it came back empty, not even a nickel in
it. Worried and annoyed, he sought out two
of the factionists and said, "What does this
mean? We can't run the church without
funds" "Oh, we have harmonized :" they
both exclaimed; ave have all agreed not to
try to run things at all, and we are going to

The cartoon in last weeks Judg6, nomi-
mating Mrs. CLEVELAND for the presidency,
while the big tears course down King

political wisdom and thorough understand

sentiment expressed in impartial and truth
full words, is to the effect that the principal

woman. Full of luck as has been the course
of "the man of destiny" he never did as
lucky thing as when he induced this young
lady to share with him the honors of the
White House and the accident of politics.
His union with her transformed him from a
sour. crusty old bachelor into happy Bene-
dict and inspired toward him the chivalric
sentiment of gallant people. Mrs CLEvE-
LAND has at once shown herself to be a
woman of exquisite tact and Judgment and
has secured for herself hosts of admirers
throughout the country. Whatever else

failures in CLEvELAND's administration Mrs.
CLEVELAND is a most pronounced success;
and although president posing in the roll
of vicarious candidate may not be very
imposing spectacle, yet it must be admitted
that if the American people want Mrs
CLEVELAND tor president another term, they
will have TO re-elect GROVER.

SPEAKING of the recent election in Texas,
the Detroit Tribune alluded to that state as
giving 100000 democratic majority. The
Cassopolis National Democrat rises to re-
mark that the Tribune has overshot the
mark by over 100000" and adds, "What a
liar.' The official canvass of the vote of
Texas gave CLEVELAND 223,20S votes and
BLAINE SS,353. True this in not quite 150,-
600 majority, but it lacks about $4,000 votes
of being "over 100000" out of the way.
The Tribune might, if it deemed it worth its
while, very properly resort to argHmentunl
dd h0mthem and answer the Democrat by
saying you're another" Perhaps it con-
siders drgualeRtum I'D ign0rdatidm as more

and marvellous discovery that drouth is

has been no exception to the rule which our
aforesaid e. e. C. has been the first to discover

9lan's work and VTo,nan's Toll

Gail Hamilton has q serious word to say OF
her sex thai al should read: Their spiritual
superiority IS signiied chiefly in this, that the
women work for love, the men for money"
Thus sho sums the matter up: The spiritual
advance made by man is seen chiefly il this,
that so much Of the money be earns goes to the
ministry OF refinement, education, embellisl-
ment, TO the wife and children whom he loves
But the woman sees no money for her toll
Her sufficient. her ample reward is in a hus-
band, content, happiness, growing i'll grace,
in children, bounding TO gracious maturity.
The unmarried woman works for necessity,
for love of her dependent ones, for love of
some beautiful or benefcent profession, for
sweet mercy and charity TO the ignorant, for
horror Of dependence upon those upon whom
she has no claim-seldOm for business, ambi-
ton or material accumulation.
The woman who makes a real failure, a
failure in her own business. is the unlovcd
woman, the graSping, the selfish, the repres-
sive, the unsympathizing, the cenSoiious, the
untruthful, the woman y ho is a center Of dis
comfort, a source of anxiety, an object of
avoidance, instead Of being that gentle, con-
soling, consiierate, motheyly magnet which
draws unto itself all human want ard woe
and bliss and aspiration"

nal, the Speaker stated that the regular
order was the vote upon the adoption OF

Commerce bill Mr.. Crisp fGa
objected to requests for separate
votes on the fourth section and
the one relating to the commission. He
also raised point of order against the mo-
ton of Nj. Durham eli. to recommit the re-
port, which was sustained by the Speaker.

In order that the railroads may have
time to get ready the law is made opera
tive sixty days after its passage, except SO
much as refers to the appointment and or
ganization of the commission, which goes
into effect at once. This is to enable
the Commissioners to familiarize them
selves with their work and be ready for the
filling of the schedules of rates and
charges. The House conferrees in their re
port direct attention to this provision and
give the reason for it. While immediate
ly' may be construed to mean fort
night or so, which would enable
the President to make up his mind about
the qualifications of the can1i
dates, it is not thought that it will be in
terpreted to postpone the organization OF
the commission till within less than a
month of the time when it's great work will
begin.
1t is already said that the president of
the commission will be New orker, and
that the West may get one Republican
and one Democratic member, the South
one, and New England one.
1.-THE bill provides in brief, for the appoint
ment of a commission of five competent men
not more than three of whom belong to one
political party. Shippers who have grievances
against railroads can make complaint to tht
Commission or institute suit in the Fedora
courts Railroads are prohibited from charg
ing more for short than for longer dis
lance upon their lines in the same direction
the shorter being included within the longer
distance, and the circumstances and condi
lions being the same; but the commission
is authorized upon application of a railroad
and after investigating the fact to relieve the
roads from the operation of the general
rule in special cases. Pooling is absolutely
prohibited. Each railroad is required to make
public the rates between points on its roads, as
proposed in the House bill, and in addition the
commission is required to secure publicity Of
through rates in so far as it may be found neces
sary.
